You can't just turn the clock the thing so that the water line doesn't hit the manifold. The most important thing is that the OIL INLET/DRAIN must be within 10* of vertical to drain properly... so, after you loosen the four bolts that hold the turbine housing to the CHRA, and then twist the CHRA so that the oil INLET faces up, if the water line on that side is still hitting the manifold, then you've got a problem. Also, when you twist the CHRA with the COMPRESSOR HOUSING still attached, it rotates that too. The WASTEGATE ACTUATOR is attached to the compressor housing and now will not line up the with wastegate flapper... so you might need to figure out another way to attach your wastegate actuator to the compressor housing.
The best idea would be for you to take a few pictures of the turbo and the manifold for us so we can step-by-step this thing for you.

The mani won't be the issue. If you have to run water then bending new lines costs about $10-$15 in parts and you do it yourself with a little tubing bender that you can borrow from autozone or whatever you have local to you. The actual fitting in the turbo can be replaced with a compression nut as well.
If it comes down to it, you don't even have to run water for cooling. Run synthetic oil like you should and don't boost up your driveway before you shut it down.
